A New Adventure~

It was... chaos. That was the only word Vyri could use to describe what was going on. So many people, so many strangers... Four men dressed in glittering, shining armor stood at a large gate, just behind four other people that were trying to calm the mess that was the people here trying to figure out just what the fuck happened.

Vyri didn't know himself... one minute space was peaceful as they flew through it, Vyri and Ravi in the cockpit, Asper with Nirav, and Leon and Rei helping out the newest crew members of their newest ship to run it smoothly. And then... the next thing Vyri knew... there was a black hole... one he hadn't been able to steer them away from.

And now? "R-Ravi...?" he called out, looking around, through the panic. He didn't know where Asper was... didn't know where Nirav was... didn't care where the others were... "Ravi!" he called out again, ears perked up in alarm and his tail fluffed with panic.

A woman with sandy brown hair frowned as she saw the fur panicking, looking around for his mate and she sighed softly, shaking her head, before walking over to him, "You're Vyri?" she questioned, tilting her head and he jolted, eyes wide.

"Wh-what?"

"Are you Vyri? Vyri Steele?" she asked again and slowly Vyri nodded his head, hunched in on himself. "Then follow me, I know where the one you're looking for is," she smiled at him and though he knew he shouldn't trust anyone in this place, he followed her.

They walked through the chaos and Vyri's ears bent back as he heard other panicking voices, ones that were angered and others that were distressed. When he finally caught sight of his mate, he lit up, ears perked up once more, "R-Ravi...!" he called out, running towards him.

Ravi was absolutely petrified, not knowing what could possibly have happened. He wasn't used to anomalies in space, as even the simple thought of space travel was new to him. He had just gotten adjusted to riding on a space ship when all of this happened. It was so confusing, scarier than anything that had ever happened to him. The cat seemed almost shrunken in on himself, his shoulders were raised, he was hunched over, and his tail curled around himself in an insecure and protective manner.

He had never been around so many people, so many panicked and distressed people. And when he couldn't find Ravi, he immediately assumed the worst.

"V-veeree..." He whimpered, the name coming from his mouth repeatedly as he wandered around aimlessly in search of the other cat. He had tapped on so many people's shoulders, asking if they knew where Vyri was that he almost sounded like a broken record.

It wasn't until he heard the calling out of his name, the familiar voice of his mate and crew member that his ears finally perked up. "V-Veeree?" He called out, quickly turning just in time to see the other running towards him. He was still too scared to really move all that much, but as Vyri got closer he ran up to the other and took him into the most intense hug he could. He nuzzled at the other cat, purring loudly as he felt the softness of the other's fur against his own.

Crying happily as he embraced Ravi, the maine coon fur nuzzled him, reassuring them both that they were here and they were alive and they were together. The woman smiled at them, "I'm sorry that this happened the way it did," she told them and Vyri's ears tilted back once more.

"Wh-where are we?" he asked, whimpering softly, but she only shook her head.

"All will be explained in a moment, for now... take some time to look over one another." she told them, before walking away, leaving Vyri and Ravi there, held tightly in each other's arms.

"Ravi..." Vyri cooed softly. "Are you okay?" he asked, when the woman left them on their own.

Ravi purred, nodding his head as he seemed to come out of his shell just a bit more. "Ravi was so scared! Everything go black, and then Ravi wake up here with strange people." He frowned, eyes watering a bit as he held the other cat tightly within his grasp.

It was nice now, that they were on their own. Even with the assortment of frightening new people around them, all he had to do was focus on Vyri. "Ravi was so worried that Veeree not be here..."

"No, no, I would never leave you alone like this..." Vyri shook his head, cuddling Ravi close.

It seemed like forever before the chaos settled down, and one stranger spoke up, his violet eyes blazing with fury and his white ears pinned to his head, "What the fuck is going on?" he snarled.

"This is something I would like to know as well," another with brown hair and deep forest green eyes said, shaking his head, frowning.

"Calm down, everyone," a man with brown hair and blue-violet eyes spoke up, holding his hands out in front of him as he tried to settle them all down. "Your questions will be answered momentarily-"

"No, answer them now," a teenager with messy brown hair, streaked black, and blazing blue eyes, snapped, arms crossed over his chest, another teenager with dark purple hair and glowing purple eyes standing behind him, frowning.

"Alright," the man sighed, scrubbing a hand over his face. "My name is Taylor and these are my colleagues, Christian," a blonde, "Kirsten," a brown haired woman, "and Annabeth," a red haired woman. "We are the guardian's of this realm and the messengers of our Mistress and our Lord." he said, tilting his chin up. "You have been summoned by them to reside here in this kingdom for reasons we cannot give you, until further notice."

"That's bullshit!" Almost immediately the chaos started again as Vyri stayed silent, holding Ravi closer.

Ravi sighed, the sheer chaos starting up again causing a shudder to run down his spine. It was absolutely terrifying, all of the yelling and screaming and panic. He didn't care about why they all were here, he didn't care about Taylor, Christian, Kirsten, or Annabeth. He just wanted to get somewhere quiet with Vyri. It was obvious that he had a phobia of loud voices and cramped places, even though he now resided on a ship.

"This...this is terrible! Why would you do this to us without our consent?!" Came a voice, followed by a sharp whimper from a boy with multi-colored eyes and purple hair. He seemed almost hurt that they would do this to all of them.

So many people from so many worlds, so many shapes and sizes...all within one small area...panicked beyond belief. It was a good thing, that surprisingly...most of them seemed to speak the same exact language.

Taylor swallowed hard, his eyes casting around at the large group and he opened his mouth to speak, but was unable to. However, luckily for him, Kirsten spoke up, "Quiet!" she snapped and almost immediately the chaos settled once more. "Why you're here is not your concern, yet, but in time, all will be revealed. This is a realm that is beyond time and space. You have no need to worry of your homes, your friends, or your family. When we return you to your worlds, it will be as if this never happened." she explained to them, her golden-green eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms over her chest. "You'll be directed to the city, where you'll be staying in separate housing. We'll pair you up in fours," she added, looking at each and every one of them. "Now, if you'll follow us, we can get you settled in your new homes."

"In fours?" Came a minor protest from a rather tall red-headed man. He appeared to be a pirate, but then again nobody could be absolutely sure. "Why in fours? That just doesn't really make much sense. Wouldn't it be better to pair us up in twos?" He received a rather sharp glare from another male, sharp golden-eyes almost piercing through him. "That's what your worrying about? How many people we will be paired with? Are you not concerned about how many people are simply here, not of their own will?"

Ravi pouted, seeing that even after the silence order had been given...that people were still arguing. "Wait...stop!" He cried out, his voice shrieking in a cat-like manner. "Just...stop argue...no more argue...please."

Vyri whimpered, cuddling Ravi closer, "It's okay Ravi..." he cooed softly, letting out a shaky sigh. "L-Let's just follow, okay?" Gently taking Ravi's hand in his own, he began leading the other to follow Kirsten as she left the area, back through the grand city gates.
